Recently I was walking down the street and saw an unfamiliar dog. She came up to me, sniffed me, looked into my eyes and just sat down next to me. Without fear, without expectations. And at that moment I felt that she knew more about me than I did. 💭

I always thought that emotions were something purely human. But when a dog tilts its head or rubs its paw against you, you understand: it reads your every breath, every shadow of doubt, every piece of joy. And without even asking, it decides whether to trust you or not. 🐕✨

Sometimes it seems to me that people hide so much from each other, build walls, disguise themselves behind words. And dogs... they just feel. They know when you're feeling bad, even if you're smiling. They feel when you're lonely, even if there are a lot of people around. ❤️

I wonder: if animals are able to sense us so subtly, why don't we sometimes notice what's going on inside others? 🤔

Today I decided to listen more often to these little, defenseless teachers. They show that true understanding doesn't always come through words. 🐾💛
